Great Course a little pricey

Always love playing this course, but for a mid week round with clearly not many people playing, the price is the same as a peak season premium.

Very nice course.

Friendly staff. Nice grill with greatstaff. Course in very good shape. Only issue was several greens were sanded and rate could have been reduced to compensate..

Wow only a Wow!

This was the best course I've played next to El Capion in Kissimmee this year. Beautiful layout, very well manicured greens, quick but not stupid fast. Fairways just super green and NO bad lies. Make this one A go to course after playing other places and you will see what A means.

I don’t usually do reviews but I am this time. Very nice course. I’ve been playing this game since I was 7 years old. Grew up on country clubs. The pro shop is a place of customer service. Two gentleman in there should probably learn that. Awful customer service. For 40 bucks more go play Regetta or Kelly to get a friendly service experience when you are down there for vacation. The persona of that you are better than somebody doesn’t really work.

Cheers!
